If this is the only change needed, then do you think it would be nice to
have it as a compile-time option, like IPFW does?  Something like this
perhaps?

options         PF_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT            #allow everything by default

I haven't verified that this is the _only_ change needed to make PF
block everything by default, but having it as a compile-time option
which defaults to block everything would be nice, right?
